So how hard was it to do the rear bushing? Which bushing did you go with?? Any insight to this project?

>So how hard was it to do the rear bushing?
It's not the easiest or the most fun of projects. I had to do it because one of mine was completely gone. Even the good ones were pretty bad. It took me a weekend to do both once I figured out how to do it with the puller. I also cleaned the wheel wells and undercoated them.
After 32 years the top of the bearing was much thinner then the bottom. The front will be next. Stay tuned. lol
>Which bushing did you go with??
I used the harder Weltmeister sport bushings. To put them in and keep them from squeaking I use Silicone spray lubrication. I know a lot of people do other things. I spay a ton of it in there. So far not a peep. Only time will tell. For me silicone has always worked much better then petroleum based lubrications on plastic bushings.

*** Remember to keep the nut on so you don't screw up the threads with the puller ***
Remember to support the control arms so you don't damage the exhaust or the break lines. I just cut my old brake lines because I was replacing them with new.
Autozone lends the puller free of charge in my area. I had it a week.
